Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * With long entries in mtab tools utilizing the get_filesystem_nr and read_filesystem functions cause a segfault due to a fact that they don't
  check strchr result for being null.

  [Test Case]

   * Have a long entry in /etc/mtab, e.g.
  overlay /var/lib/docker/overlay2/f23d2377a67b9ab1b49555ecd09b2ccdc03

  (the above is from the upstream bug description).

   * Run
  sadc -F -L -S DISK 1 1 /var/log/sysstat

   * Note a segfault in the log/console.

  [Regression Potential]

   * The fix is present upstream, so the behaviour will be consistent
  with the upstream version.

   * I don't see any potential regression manifestation, as this is a
  simple bugfix fixing ignoring function return values.

  [Other Info]
